FileNet P8 Rendition Engine, Version 5.2       Application server:  WebLogic Application Server   Operating systems:  Windows

Installing database drivers on WebLogic Server

If Content Platform Engine is deployed on WebLogic Server and uses a different database than Rendition Engine, you must install drivers for the Rendition Engine database on the Content Platform Engine server.

To install database drivers on WebLogic Server:

Depending on your database, use one of the following procedures to install the JDBC drivers:
Microsoft SQL Server
  1. Download and extract the version of SQL Server JDBC Driver from Microsoft Support that matches the version of the JDK on WebLogic Server. Place the JDBC driver file in a directory jdbc_path on your application server, such as:
    AIX®, HPUX, HPUXi,Linux, Solaris
    /opt/jars
    Windows
    C:\jars
  2. Perform the following step, depending on your operating system type.
    AIX, HPUX, HPUXi,Linux, Solaris
    Edit the file startWebLogic.sh by inserting the following two lines immediately after the first occurrence of the line CLASSPATH=...
     JDBC_PATH="jdbc_path/sqljdbc20/enu/sqljdbc4.jar"
     CLASSPATH="%{JDBC_PATH}:%{CLASSPATH]%"
    Windows
    Edit the file startWebLogic.cmd (by default, in the directory C:\WL_HOME\user_projects\domains\bin\FNCEDomain for the WebLogic domain you created. Insert the following two lines immediately after the first occurrence of the line CLASSPATH=...
    set JDBC_PATH=jdbc_path\sqljdbc_1.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar
    set CLASSPATH=%JDBC_PATH%;%CLASSPATH%
Oracle
  1. Check whether the Oracle JDBC Driver file is already on your WebLogic server by searching for ojdbc##.jar in the wls_install_path/server/lib directory, where wls_install_path is the WebLogic Server installation path.
  2. If no Oracle JDBC Driver file is present, download the file (the one that matches the version of the JDK on WebLogic Server) from the Oracle JDBC Driver Downloads website to a directory on WebLogic Server.
    Restriction: If you intend to install add-ons (extensions to IBM® FileNet® P8 core components), and your Content Platform Engine database is Oracle, your Oracle JDBC Driver file requirements might be more restrictive. For the required version and patch number, see System requirements: Hardware and software requirements for IBM FileNet P8.
  3. From the Oracle website, apply the patch Oracle Patch Ojdbc##.jar.
  4. For the WebLogic Server domain that you created, apply the following changes:
    Windows
    In the file startWebLogic.cmd, insert the following two lines immediately after the first set CLASSPATH line:
    set JDBC_PATH=jdbc_path\ojdbc##.jar 
    set CLASSPATH=%JDBC_PATH%;%CLASSPATH%
    AIX, HPUX, HPUXi, Linux, Solaris
    In the file startWebLogic.sh, insert the following two lines immediately after the first CLASSPATH line:
    JDBC_PATH="jdbc_path/ojdbc##.jar" 
    CLASSPATH="$JDBC_PATH:$CLASSPATH"
